Title: Version 3 release – feedback Last modified: August 24, 2016 --- # Version 3 release – feedback * Plugin Author [Bas Schuiling](https://wordpress.org/support/users/basszje/) * (@basszje) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/version-3-release-feedback/) * We are proud to just have released version 3 of our popular plugin. We worked hard and made massive changes to just about everything under the hood. The new version is better and more stable then ever. * The biggest changes you’ll see is the arrival of responsiveness which you can now adjust fully manually if you wish so. * We are curious what you think, what are your wishes for future versions of MaxButtons, and also any (small) issues you might come across so we can fix that. * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/maxbuttons/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/maxbuttons/) Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 20 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/version-3-release-feedback/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/version-3-release-feedback/page/2/?output_format=md) * [ElSidneyFFS](https://wordpress.org/support/users/elsidneyffs/) * (@elsidneyffs) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/version-3-release-feedback/#post-6030524) * Ok, I updated and now can’t get into wp-admin, so I came here looking for a solution… * Plugin Author [Bas Schuiling](https://wordpress.org/support/users/basszje/) * (@basszje) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/version-3-release-feedback/#post-6030526) * Are you sure it’s related to MB? * In any case, you can also solve this problem by going to your FTP, and rename the plugin folder of MaxButtons to something else, or remove it temporarily. * It would be nice to know what error are you getting, so we can look into the issue here. * [ElSidneyFFS](https://wordpress.org/support/users/elsidneyffs/) * (@elsidneyffs) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/version-3-release-feedback/#post-6030527) * I deactivated plugins in the db, got in to wpadmin then, reactivated all but maxbuttons, everything back to normal. * Updating maxbuttons was the last thing I had done, site went white, no error. * Plugin Author [Bas Schuiling](https://wordpress.org/support/users/basszje/) * (@basszje) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/version-3-release-feedback/#post-6030530) * Do you know from which version you tried to update? We’ve tried it on a range of different sites with no problems. So I’m thinking it’s either a very old version, or perhaps some plugin / something conflicting. * Sorry for the trouble in any case. * [ElSidneyFFS](https://wordpress.org/support/users/elsidneyffs/) * (@elsidneyffs) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/version-3-release-feedback/#post-6030532) * No worries. It’s easly Sunday and I wasn’t ready for this, is all. * I only started using Maxbuttons this past week, so it should have been the previous version that I updated from. * I have it on a couple of other sites, so I’ll update there and see what happens. Yes, it’s probably a conflict with another plugin. * Sorry if my posts above seemed sharp; I was posting while trying to fix this. I’m looking through the logs now to see what error posted. * Plugin Author [Bas Schuiling](https://wordpress.org/support/users/basszje/) * (@basszje) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/version-3-release-feedback/#post-6030544) * I know how annoying it can be if you just want to update something quickly and everything comes crashing down. * If you can provide me with some errors or anything I would appreciate it. * [ElSidneyFFS](https://wordpress.org/support/users/elsidneyffs/) * (@elsidneyffs) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/version-3-release-feedback/#post-6030546) * Exactly. * Ok, nothing useful from the logs on that site. Tried installing on a site with few plugins, got this error * Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAYIM, expecting T_VARIABLE[…] wp-content/plugins/maxbuttons/classes/installation.php on line 6 * Plugin Author [Bas Schuiling](https://wordpress.org/support/users/basszje/) * (@basszje) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/version-3-release-feedback/#post-6030556) * Ah, you are probably running PHP 5.2 still on that server? That will surely give problems I’m afraid yes, the plugin doesn’t run on PHP 5.2. * [ElSidneyFFS](https://wordpress.org/support/users/elsidneyffs/) * (@elsidneyffs) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/version-3-release-feedback/#post-6030571) * Ah, yes, 5.2.17. Ok, must fix that; thanks for your help. * [ejagas](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ejagas/) * (@ejagas) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/version-3-release-feedback/#post-6030621) * Hi, is there any chance we could get the installation file for the previous version? I’m also getting the same error as ElSidneyFFS but do not want to change the version of PHP running on my server for the moment. Thanks. * Plugin Author [Bas Schuiling](https://wordpress.org/support/users/basszje/) * (@basszje) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/version-3-release-feedback/#post-6030623) * No problem, you can find it here still : [https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/maxbuttons.1.37.zip](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/maxbuttons.1.37.zip) * Be sure not to run the two versions are the same time though, that will not work, but you can use it to roll-back to a previous version. * By the way, PHP 5.2 is really old and potential dangerous as well since security issues are not being patched. * [ejagas](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ejagas/) * (@ejagas) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/version-3-release-feedback/#post-6030632) * Thanks much. I definitely will update my version of PHP but just can’t at the moment. Once I do though I will install / use your latest version. Thanks again! * [LotharDiener](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lothardiener/) * (@lothardiener) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/version-3-release-feedback/#post-6030656) * After update I get the following error message: * plugin cannot be activated due to fatal error. * Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAYIM, expecting T_VARIABLE in /mnt/webp/e1/67/51408367/htdocs/WordPress_02/wp-content/plugins/maxbuttons/ classes/installation.php on line 6 * Is there any help? * Thanx * [inmom](https://wordpress.org/support/users/inmom/) * (@inmom) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/version-3-release-feedback/#post-6030660) * Updated to newest version this morning. Plugin ceased working immediately, no trace of old button. (I only use one on my site.) * Tried to create new button, but when I was done creating it, I could never find any trace of it on the “Buttons” page — so there was no shortcode to insert. * When in circles three times, and then re-installed version 3.0, which has always worked fine for me, and it is back to its old self. * Hope this helps sort out some of the odd behaviour of the most recent update. * …and thanks for the plugin! * Plugin Author [Bas Schuiling](https://wordpress.org/support/users/basszje/) * (@basszje) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/version-3-release-feedback/#post-6030664) * [@lothardiener](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lothardiener/) I think you are running PHP 5.2 Unfortunately the new version will not run on versions older then PHP 5.3. Also 5.2 went end of life in 2011. * [@inmom](https://wordpress.org/support/users/inmom/) Good to hear. The buttons were moved correctly as well at some point?
